This project came to life during my introduction to engineering class where my professor gave my team a budget of 75 dollars which we needed to use to construct a ball launcher capable of launching a ball 6-7 feet consistently. However, the catch was that it needed to be able to be used by a dog. Over the course of 7 weeks, my team and I organized, planned, and designed a product that was capable of landing 6.5 feet consistently and remained very affordable. At the end of the 7 weeks, my team presented our product to the class and overall received the highest scores in reliability, cost, consistency, and safety. However, it did lack in the appearance department. We ended up using duct tape as the main source of securing everything together which ultimately resulted in the appearance being subpar.
